Description
The Peridot gold silver pendant with diamonds is a unique and striking piece of jewellery it has a slight ‘Inca style.’ The Incas Jewellery style was decorative, distinctive and bold.
It is said the bright green Peridot can inspire creativity; it also brings joy and good cheer. Peridot was considered the gem of light because it still looks bright green when not in the light. The use of Peridot in jewellery and other applications dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians from around 1500 B.C. So it’s been favoured for many years.
In this pendant, the 24ct pure gold is fused to the silver.
Fusion is the term used to bond two metals together; in this case, pure gold and pure silver have been fused together to form a permanent bond. The metals must be close to the melting point when pressure must be applied. Subsequently, the gold leaf may melt without pressure and form a ‘blob’ rather than a permanent bond. This technique requires patience and skill; timing is crucial.
Lastly, the Peridot gold silver pendant with diamonds bears the metal identification stamp, the stamp of the maker and the ‘The Australian Gold and Silversmithing Guild of Australia’ stamp.
